This is something that really pisses me off! More times I have used priority boarding, and still had difficulty stowing my bag becasue of the crew bags, portable IFE bags etc. This is largely compounded if the plane happens to have a life raft stowed there too!
Personally I'm happy for the life raft to stay there :!:
 
Used to be unrestricted but now capped at 23kg. And yes they make it quite clear that you have to deal with it

... and Serfty beat me to the post!

I used to hate hand luggage and would always check my bags, I was therefore very fast to board and de-plane, I took up no extra space and got on and off as quick as I could.

It didn't take long to realize I was being a chump, I ended up waiting for ages anyway, only to see those who loaded up carry-on breeze through the airport to a taxi while I had to wait for bags.
So rather than try and beat them, I joined them and now only have carry-on.

I would not be upset if they banned all carry-on minus a purse or plastic bag with a book in it.

The boarding and alighting would be much faster for everyone, but of course this won't happen as mentioned earlier, they save money on baggage handlers and the poor hosties have to do a lot of the packing.


Like Mal Ware, I only ever checked-in luggage for years when travelling for business, then I 'discovered' just how light I could travel with a small overnight bag on domestic flights. I don't have an issue with the carry-on luggage but like many members here, I've seen the rules of carry-on stretched and abused many times.

I would never ask any FA to handle my carry-on bag and I have a lot of sympathy for many of them with sod of the customers they must endure.
